The reading matter one would recommend to medical undergraduate students clearly depends upon one's own view of the purposes and aims of teaching this group of students in departments of psychiatry. Aims may not be limited to psychiatry itself, and some teachers see the development of interviewing skills, self-awareness, and personal development as being at least as important as the teaching of more technical aspects of medicine such as the psychological aspects of physical disorders, recognition of psychiatric syndromes, psychiatric treatments, the use of the Mental Health Acts, and the organization of psychiatric services and their relation with other medical services.
